Someone recommended me Voxengo Span to analyse both the spectrum and the RMS level of my mix. THANKS. Your product definitely works well.

I read the help file. However, I'm not sure I understand the 'RMS' and 'PRMS' indicators. When I set it to 'K-12', a snapshot of my mix ends up with the 'RMS' showing about -2 plus on average and the 'PRMS' on average to be about +2. What does this mean, really? What average RMS was that indicating?

Here's what the readme file says about those indicators: -

"...that RMS counters show dB values: A/B, where B = A + 3 dB. PRMS (peak RMS)counter has 50 ms averaging time." No other info that I can interprete well.

As for the "A/B, where B= A+3" - it is an outdated information I've forgot to remove (sorry for the confusion).

The meaning of RMS/PRMS readout depends on the meter mode you have chosen.

Aleksey Vaneev: RMS is RMS power of the track so far.

Aleksey Vaneev: PRMS is a maximal registered peak RMS power.

Thansk for responding. I arbitrarily use the 'K-12' meter mode.

My 'RMS' shows about -2 plus on average and the 'PRMS' on average to be about +2. What does this mean, really? What average RMS was that indicating?

PS: Sorry, a bit amateur here. I only know the lower the RMS level, the louder it represents. But, find it hard to understand the readings (not just yours, but I think some other products out there uses this kinda style as well).
